Texas PIA Deadline Calculator

Build a working Public Information Act response calendar.

Estimate key 10- and 15-business-day deadlines and account for selected holidays, local nonbusiness days, clarification, mail uncertainty, catastrophe periods, vendor information, and cost estimates.

Interactive resource

Estimate the response dates.

Do not count the day the request was received. The calculator begins with the next selected business day and uses only the information entered below.

Calculate deadlines

Observed holidays and nonbusiness days

Review the selections. Optional holidays and local observance vary by governmental body.

Confirm final dates with counsel before withholding, redacting, delaying, or requesting an Attorney General ruling.

Important limitations

This calculator provides a general planning estimate. It does not determine whether information is public, confidential, excepted from disclosure, subject to redaction, covered by a previous determination, or appropriate for an Attorney General ruling request.

  • Review every selected holiday and add locally designated nonbusiness or closure dates.
  • Clarification, catastrophe notices, cost estimates, third-party interests, vendor-held contracting information, and other facts may change the analysis.
  • Nothing on this page creates an attorney-client relationship.
